[QUOTE="hallzi43, post: 769521, member: 12943"] Huh? Are you even serious? Actually no, Thomas and Dix wouldn't both be playing because Pettine runs generally a single high safety and Dix doesn't play well near the box. No it isn't anything like what you describe because OBJ and Adams are both top 10 WR's and neither play specifically out of the slot. So OBJ is of actual value to not only our offense, but also the other 31 teams in the league. (Also before you say something stupid like well obviously he isn't of value to the Giants. He is the one holding up the contract negotiations.) I have no worries about Dix next season. But yes, Earl Thomas was mulling over retirement late last season.
